Chapter 13: Season opener, banning Nash

Before the game, all major media warmed up and analyzed the game. Combined with www.biquge.info the current situation of the Lakers and the league-winning bombardment of the Suns under Nash's control, everyone thinks that the Suns have a higher chance of winning. Only a handful of local Los Angeles media and Lakers diehards believe that Kobe Bryant, who has returned from injury, will definitely get revenge for last season's shot!

When the players were warming up, Li Du deliberately looked at the side of the sun, silently recalled Nash's style in his heart, and recalled what Kobe Bryant said to him: "Lee, do you see it?" That guy is Steve? Nash! The best point guard in the league today! I want you to suppress him tonight, can you? ”

Li Du looked at Nash and said firmly, "It can be done!" ”

However, what Kobe Bryant said to Li Du and what Li Du understood did not mean the same thing. Bryant knew that with a guard like Nash, it would be impossible to completely block him. Everyone knows that the core of the sun is Nash, and as long as Nash is sealed, the sun will lose. But no matter what method is used, Nash can always find holes in the defense and use his unpredictable passing to break through the defense!

Kobe Bryant just hopes that Li Du can cause some trouble to Nash, and don't let Nash lead the whole team so smoothly. The Suns, who have a smooth offense, no team dares to say that they can win in their hands!

Li Du's understanding is not like this. He knows that Nash led the Suns to a league-leading record last season, and he knows that the Suns' bombardment is an extremely terrible tactic for any team. But since Kobe Bryant wants him to suppress Nash, that is, he can't let Nash pass or score well, or even let him receive the ball!

Thinking of this, Li Du secretly sneered in his heart: "Steve? Nash, the best point guard today, I'm sorry, you're going to be the first stepping stone to my rise! ”

Secretly determined to explode himself with all his might, Li Du ignored the surprised eyes of others, and began to practice Xingyi Quan and Baguazhang in the court. He's going to get his body up to the best of his ability, he's going to seal Nash!

Li Du practiced boxing on his own, Xingyi Quan made him stimulate his strength, and Baguazhang swam away, allowing his steps and flexibility to be brought into full play.

Barkley and Smith, who were commentators on the side, saw this situation, and Smith smiled: "The Lakers' Chinese rookies this year are very interesting, and they started performing Chinese kung fu before the opening." Charles, do you think he'll be able to play today? ”

Barkley has always been a big mouth, and he laughed when he thought of something, "Kenny, don't you think it's a terrible thing to waste time on a rookie who didn't perform well in the preseason?" The key to the game between the Lakers and the Suns is to see Kobe Bryant and Nash. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "But Phil and Kobe seem to have a lot of confidence in this rookie, and I believe that Phil will give him a chance to play, just don't expect too much for his performance." ”

After Li Du's practice, the Zen master summoned them to make the final arrangements before the start of the competition: "Young men, tonight is our revenge battle. You don't need me to say anything superfluous, right? Now everyone listen. Kobe, it's up to you to attack this game. ”

Phil then instructed Kwame Brown: "Kwame, your task is to hold up to Stoudemire on the inside, and when he and Nash play pick-and-roll, let go of the outside and shrink back to protect the rim." ”

In the end, the Zen master said to Li Du: "There are only two tasks for you, first, try to make Nash uncomfortable, and don't let him lead the whole team. Second, after Kobe Bryant was trapped, if you receive a pass, you must shoot it! ”

Famar looked at Li Du enviously, in a traditional strong team like the Lakers, he could play the main team just after entering the team, which was an impossible thing for him. But Li Du, who entered the team at the same time as him, not only became the starter, but also gained the trust of the coach!

As soon as Li Du came on the court, his eyes were staring straight at Nash. This time, he wants to put all his energy on Nash!

There was no suspense in the jump ball, and Xiao Si easily won Kwame Brown and slapped the ball directly into Nash's hands.

As soon as Li Du saw Nash get the ball, he immediately greeted him.

This move surprised Barkley and Smith, who were commentating on the sidelines. The Lakers will defend Nash strictly, which is something that everyone knows, but no one expected that the one who defended Nash turned out to be a rookie who had just entered the league!

Nash was not in a hurry, protected the ball through the half, and began to look for opportunities to launch his tactics. Li Du followed the defense closely, but he didn't dare to break the ball. Nash's dribbling gives the feeling that the ball is one with him! In fact, not only Nash, but many powerful guards in the NBA have done this, and only by achieving such a combination of man and ball can the relatively weak Nash survive in the NBA.

Seeing that Li Du was still a child, Nash decided to go straight to the others. So the rhythm of his dribbling began to change, fast and slow, and his body moved with the basketball between his left and right hands, and also swung with the basketball. For a top point guard like Nash, you don't have to shake off the defender completely, as long as he has half a body, he can pass the opponent in one step.

But Li Du was not moved at all, but at the moment when Nash was about to hand over the basketball from his right hand to his left hand, he suddenly broke the ball! This time, Li Du's body did not move, but he used the middle drill fist of Xingyi Five Elements Boxing in his hand, like a spiritual snake shaking his brain, and poked the basketball with a swish!

Nash originally saw that Li Du was not moving, and was just about to make a sideways move, and then accelerated past Li Du. There was a sudden light in his hand, and his heart was suddenly cold, and he was cut off! When he turned around again, he saw that Li Du had already flown the ball into his hand, and before his body fell, he waved his big hand and directly dialed it to Kobe Bryant, who ran forward.

Kobe Bryant received the ball, rushed up, and when he just stepped on the line of the penalty area, he used his feet hard, jumped high, and poured the ball into the basket!

2-0, at the beginning of the game, Li Du forcibly broke Nash, giving Kobe Bryant a chance to break fast!

"Tough defense!" With only one goal, Li Du surprised Barkley, who was commentating on the sidelines, "Li Du's defense just now was very good, not only was he not shaken away by Nash, but he also broke the basketball in Nash's hand!" Breaking the ball in Nash's hands is not an easy task. And he turned out to be a starter, it seems that this young man is not as incompetent as in pre-season! ”

Smith snorted twice, he was also surprised by Li Du's performance just now, but for the commentary, he and Barkley had to maintain a relative point of view, so he had to say: "It's really a good defense, but it has a lot to do with Nash's carelessness, and I believe that Nash will counterattack back in the next ball!" ”

Kobe Bryant pointed at Li Du with a smile when he returned to defense, affirming his performance, and Li Du also made a gesture back, but there was no expression on his face. This is only the first goal, the game has just begun, and he has to continue to prevent Nash! The cheers of the fans were deafening, but Li Du's eyes at the moment were only the game!

After receiving the serve, Nash took a closer look at the Lakers' formation. Because Li Du started, Kobe Bryant was on the top of the small forward position, Odom played power forward, Kwame Brown played center, and basically didn't come out on the inside.

At the moment, Nash had a plan in his heart. Without waiting for Li Du to post it, he passed the ball directly to Marion in the front court, and he pulled away to the three-point line on the other side.

Marion has a weird shooting hand, but he has very good mobility, especially his jump speed and explosiveness, but he doesn't have the confidence to let him hold the ball to play Kobe. Standing 45 degrees outside the three-point line, he glanced at Xiao Si, who was just about to be in place on the inside, and without hesitation, he hit the ground and passed the ball to Xiao Si.

After Xiao Si got the ball, he felt the defender behind him, Kwame Brown blocked him desperately, and on the other side, Dio was not in a good position under Odom's entanglement. Xiao Si sneered in his heart, does a Kwame Brown want to stop himself?

"Bang" and "Bang" The muffled sound of two muscle collisions, Xiao Si forced himself to push away Kwamei Brown, strode into the inner line, and raised his hand to buckle!

"Bang" was another muffled sound, and I saw that Li Du didn't know when he had let go of Nash, jumped up, jumped high, and pressed his hands on the basketball in Xiao Si's hand!

"Go down!" Li Du roared, exerted force with both hands, and forced Xiao Si down from the air!

"Ugh!" Xiao Si was in mid-air, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, and he was suddenly pressed down by a strong force, and the soles of his feet did not stand, and he sat on the floor at once.

"Drop!" The referee's whistle sounded, and Li Du and Xiao Si were sentenced to fight for the ball!

"God! What did I just see? "Barkley and Smith are both uncomposed," a defender who covered Smalls with the ball after he jumped? Kenny, we didn't dream, did we? ”

"Whew...... Charles, we read that right, you look at the big screen! Smith pointed to the large screen on top of Staples Arena, which was playing back the block from Li Du in slow motion. The home fans cheered and cheered.

Barkley said quickly: "Through the slow-motion replay, we can clearly see that Li Du let go of Nash's defense when Xiao Si just pushed off Kwame Brown and jumped up, and rushed into the interior defense in three steps!" God, I read that right, he jumped higher than Xiao Si! The little overlord in the air has a strong opponent now! This is definitely the best block of the season! ”

After being pulled up by Dio and other teammates, Xiao Si also felt a burst of shame, but more of a shock. If a person drinks water, he knows whether he is warm or cold. How high he is after jumping and how strong his strength is, Xiao Si knows it in his heart. However, this Chinese burst out with more strength and bounce than himself in the moment of supplemental defense! Is this still human!

Li Du's ball just now, he tried his best, and now he is trying to balance his breathing. Kobe Bryant knew at a glance that this kid Li Du misunderstood his words! Kobe Bryant originally just hoped that Li Du would suppress Nash, but he didn't expect that this kid would directly want to block Nash and even the entire Suns offense by himself!

This is obviously impossible! So Kobe gently patted Li Du and explained: "Li, you don't need to fight so hard, guard against Nash!" As long as Nash can't lead the team, we're going to win. ”

Li Du let out a breath and nodded, "Got it, boss." I'll take care to keep my strength up! ”
